Safety of toys — Part 2: Flammability

Abstract

This document specifies the categories of flammable materials that are prohibited in all toys, and
requirements concerning flammability of certain toys when they are subjected to a small source of
ignition.
The test methods described in Clause 5 are used for the purposes of determining the flammability of
toys under the particular test conditions specified. The test results thus obtained cannot be considered
as providing an overall indication of the potential fire hazard of toys or materials when subjected to
other sources of ignition.
This document includes general requirements relating to all toys and specific requirements and test
methods relating to the following toys, which are considered as being those presenting the greatest
hazard:
— toys intended to be worn on the head, such as beards, moustaches and wigs made from pile or
flowing elements, masks, hoods and headdresses; however, paper and paperboard hats without
embellishments or attachments are excluded;
— toy disguise costumes and toys intended to be worn by a child in play;
— toys intended to be entered by a child and constructed from textiles and/or polymer sheets and
films;
— soft-filled toys (see A.6).
